I read:
TOD Clock Service
The time-of-day (TOD) clock service provides a caller, including your exit
routine,
with a TOD clock image. In the clock image, bit 0 is set on to allow the
service to
handle values from May 11,1971, at 11:56:53.685248 to January 25, 2114, at
11:50:41.055743.
???
But in PoOps I see
...
If the programming support uses the standard epoch, bit 0 of the clock
remains one
through the years 1972-2041. (Bit 0 turned on at 11:56:53.685248 (UTC) May
11, 1971.)
I'm inclined to believe the latter, and that Bit 0 returns to 0, not 1, in
September, 2042.
Setting bit 0 on results in values of x'8000...' to x'FFF...'. These
correspond to dates
from 1971 to 2042, never reaching 2114.
Is there an error in the IPCS doc?
